"I am a psychotherapist who has been in private practice in for over 20 years. My professional experiences have given me a deep appreciation for our innate capacity to not only survive, but to transform difficult life events in ways that foster understanding, healing, and personal growth. For some, psychotherapy can provide a safe and nurturing environment in which to learn healthy coping strategies to better deal with the stressors of daily living. For others, it can provide a unique opportunity to work on a deeper level to address core issues related to family of origin, trauma, sexuality, and addiction."

"I work with people who want to grow into who they are. Become more creative, more connected. Move toward who their spirit wants to be. Live more creatively. Who are seeking.

Honesty is the raw material for a meaningful life - it's the ground for connection with your self and the people you love. I'm interested in your truth."

"Hello, My name is Deborah Karnbad, LCSW-R and I have been in private practice for over thirty years. Clearly, most people come into therapy for depression, anxiety, or problems in relationships, past or current trauma, not knowing "what to do," or "how to be." They cannot see what is getting in their way to find contentment in their lives. I believe to endure the many challenges in life, we must first face ourselves, and stop blaming others for our pain. A lofty goal, and one that gives way into finding your vitality and life's path."
